AUBURN, Alabama – There's the bad record, that's for sure. But a starting point to turn things around could be a win over Texas A&M on Saturday.

The problem for Auburn and Gene Chizik? The Aggies lead the SEC in total offense and, while improving, Auburn's defense has some ways to go to catch up.

"They lead the league in just about every category offensively that there is," Chizik says in this video. "Defensively, they’re very aggressive. They have an elaborate scheme defensively that allows them to be very productive in terms of negative plays. We have our work cut out for us, but we’re looking forward to the challenge."

Chizik goes on to give more of a scouting report on the Aggies.

This is the second volume of the Gene Chizik Video Collection from Tuesday's press conference. The first one is here, and in it he talks about the tough times. We also wrote about a post-press conference story about some of these things. And there are other stories and videos -- like on quarterback Clint Moseley, the vertical passing game and Military Appreciation Day -- here on our al.com Auburn page.

Chizik wraps up this video talking about injuries. He didn't offer much new news (though Auburn has played short-handed the last couple of weeks). He said he was hopeful defensive end Dee Ford would continue to improve. And he talked of the loss of tight end Philip Lutzenkirchen to season-ending hip surgery.

Chizik said he'd welcome Lutzenkirchen to be around the players.

"We don’t know exactly what that is going to look like after he gets his surgery, but he is a part of this football team. He’s a part of this family," Chizik said. "He’s been a great contributor to us since he got here as a true freshman. What a career he has had here. He is always going to go down here in the record books as a guy that is an Auburn man and been very productive.

"He’ll be here for meetings. He’ll be here for practice. That’s just who he is."
